Another tech giant that says it must import foreign workers because there aren’t enough skilled American workers in the industry is laying off thousands of workers.

Qualcomm — a major producer of smartphone chips — announced last week it’s eliminating 15 percent of its workforce or about 4,500 employees, just weeks after fellow tech giant Microsoft announced a massive round of layoffs.

People who collect Social Security benefits and have a bad memory may lose their benefits, according to a FOX News posting.

About 4.2 million adults receive monthly benefits that are managed by “representative payees,” or third parties, notes the FOX News report. Under the proposal floated by “president” Barack Hussein Obama, people who are simply forgetful—say, their monthly disability payments are handled by a third party—would lose their Social Security benefits if they own a gun. The latest gun grab, which could potentially affect millions of people, is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws that prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the United States illegally, and others, FOX News

Even though it is true that the government currently bans all kinds of things, I am asking a serious question. Let me expand and clarify it. Is the federal government authorized by the Constitution to make illegal the possession of any substance that it deems it to be harmful, hazardous, immoral, addictive, threatening, damaging, injurious, destructive, unsafe, or dangerous to an individual or to society?

I am not talking about state governments—that is a separate issue. I am talking about the U.S. national government that was set up by the Constitution in 1789. The Constitution that was amended in 1791, 1795, 1804, 1865, 1868, 1870, 1913, 1919, 1920, 1933, 1951, 1961, 1964, 1967, 1971, & 1992.

Writing for the majority, Justice Michael Gableman slammed a special prosecutor’s handling of the investigation and praised the unnamed plaintiffs for pushing back against a violation of their First Amendment rights to political speech.

“It is utterly clear that the special prosecutor has employed theories of law that do not exist in order to investigate citizens who were wholly innocent of any wrongdoing,” Gableman wrote in the majority opinion. “To be clear, this conclusion ends the John

We often boast about having attained some unimaginable redefinition of ourselves and our nation. How odd, then, that someone born 210 years ago today could understand us with more clarity and depth than we understand ourselves.

Back in 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville accurately foresaw both much of what ails us and our remarkable uniqueness and strengths. Tocqueville’s deservedly famous book, “Democracy in America,” was the product of his nine-month excursion throughout Jacksonian America. The purpose of this trip was to study our country’s political institution and the habits of mind of its citizens.

The managing editor of Rolling Stone–who presided over the publication when they released their now-retracted, patently false University of Virginia gang rape story–has finally resigned.

Will Dana will leave the magazine after nearly two decades. His last day will be in August and, at this point, he has no future job lined up–suggesting that his resignation was forced.

Dana’s resignation comes as three University of Virginia graduates filed a lawsuit against Rolling Stone.

George Elias IV, Stephen Hadford, and Ross Fowler filed a suit against Rolling Stone and Rolling Stone’s publisher, Wenner Media. Their lawyer claims that they suffered “vicious and hurtful attacks” after the fake story was published in November 2014.

Late Wednesday, the Los Angeles Superior Court issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) banning the Center for Medical Progress from releasing video of a meeting with three StemExpress employees at a restaurant last May, potentially violating fundamental First Amendment precedents that bar prior restraints on speech.

The Center for Medical Progress (CMP), a group of “citizen journalists dedicated to monitoring and reporting on medical ethics and advances,” has released four undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood’s program of selling aborted babies’ body parts—and they promise that more
